Abstract
The authors report normal-incidence infrared absorption in the wavelength range 12-14 μm and low temperature (40 K) photocurrent spectra from an (In,Ga)As/GaAs quantum dot structure. The basic structure consists of 20 periods of highly uniform (In,Ga)As/GaAs dot arrays. The strong room temperature absorption indicates the high quality of the superlattice structure; this is considered to be very promising for the fabrication of high performance, long wavelength photodetectors
